The Day of Reckoning event is set to go down in Saudi Arabia on Sunday featuring some of the top heavyweights in the world.

Historically, Christmas weekend is not a popular stretch for big combat sports events. That is not the case in 2023 as one of the final major events of the year goes down on Sunday in Saudi Arabia with a heavyweight-focused card.

The card includes a double main event featuring former heavyweight champions.

Two-time former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will take on Otto Wallin, the man who nearly upset Tyson Fury in 2019.

Former WBC champ Deontay Wilder will also be in action when he takes on former WBO champ Joseph Parker.

In theory, wins by both Joshua and Wilder will set up a long-awaited clash between the two in 2024.

The undercard is littered with heavyweight veterans and prospects on the rise. Daniel Dubois is back in action when he takes on Jarrell Miller. Dubois is coming off a somewhat controversial TKO loss to OIeksandr Usyk where he felt he scored a knockdown but it was ruled a lowblow. Miller has twice been suspended from the sport for taking performance-enhancing drugs, including losing out on a fight with Joshua in 2019. Plus, WBA light heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol will make his lone appearance in 2023 when he takes on Lyndon Arthur. Other rising contenders like Arslanbek Makhmudov and Filip Hrgovic are set to hit the ring as well.
